El n?mero de fallecidos por gripe A se eleva a 42 en Espa?a

El virus alcanza su propagaci?n m?s alta en Catalunya y se acerca al nivel epid?mico

01/10/2009 |

Madrid / Barcelona. (Agencias).- El n?mero de fallecidos por gripe A se ha elevado a 42 en la semana pasada, seis m?s que en la anterior, seg?n ha revelado el ?ltimo informe de situaci?n elaborado por el Ministerio de Sanidad, mientras los casos registrados en Catalunya sobrepasaron por primera vez el nivel de los 90 infectados por cada 100.000 habitantes, situ?ndonse en los 92,5 y acerc?ndose as? al considerado nivel epid?mico -un centenar de casos-, inform? por su parte la Conselleria de Salut de la Generalitat en un comunicado.

La tasa estimada de gripe cl?nica ha aumentado ligeramente con respecto a los datos de la semana anterior, y se sit?a en el conjunto de Espa?a en los 77,88 casos por cada 100.000 habitantes. La tasa, seg?n los c?lculos del Ministerio, permite calcular que en Espa?a se podr?an haber producido en la ?ltima semana 34.802 casos de gripe cl?nica, de los que el 90 por ciento (31.322) corresponder?an a la nueva gripe.

En la anterior semana -del 13 al 19 de septiembre- la tasa estimada de gripe cl?nica fue de 52,35 casos por 100.000 habitantes y, a diferencia del actual per?odo, por primera vez, todos los casos de gripe cl?nica fueron de gripe A(H1N1). Todos los infectados han presentado un cuadro leve y han respondido a los tratamientos convencionales, ha precisado el Ministerio.

La tasa de letalidad es de 0,22 fallecidos por cada mil afectados de gripe A (H1N1) frente al 0,21 registrado en la semana anterior.

Respecto a la situaci?n en Catalunya, la Conselleria especific? que a pesar del incremento respecto a semanas anteriores, la informaci?n recogida semanalmente por el Plan de Informaci?n de las Infecciones Respiratorias Agudas en Catalunya (Pidirac) ha detectado tan solo "casos espor?dicos y algunos brotes locales". La mayor?a de los infectados present? un cuadro gripal leve, con recuperaci?n en pocos d?as.

En estos momentos se encuentran ingresados en alguna Unidad de Cuidados Intensivos (UCI) de hospitales catalanes cuatro enfermos graves, y se han producido cuatro defunciones.

Geli dice que era "previsible" la mayor propagaci?n del virus
La consellera de Salud de la Generalitat, Marina Geli, dijo hoy que era "previsible" la mayor propagaci?n del virus de la gripe A en Catalunya, que se encuentra en una "fase m?s extensiva, pero no m?s grave de la enfermedad, fruto de la apertura de guarder?as y escuelas", que son un "hervidero".

Tras una reuni?n con el presidente de la Generalitat, Jos? Montilla, y la ministra de Sanidad y Pol?tica Social, Trinidad Jim?nez, Geli aventur? que la extensi?n del virus aumentar? en las pr?ximas semanas, aunque dijo desconocer en qu? magnitud. La propagaci?n de casos, que esta semana son 92 por cada 100.000, se acerca a la fase epid?mica, considerada en 100 por cada 100.000. La titular de Salud dijo que durante esta semana ha aumentado la actividad asistencial, especialmente en la Atenci?n Primaria. Asimismo, record? que Catalunya lleg? "un a?o a los 300 casos por cada 100.000" en gripe com?n.

Hasta ahora, la comunidad catalana ha registrado casi 50 casos graves, 29 altas hospitalarias y cuatro fallecimientos por este virus, que insisti? que en general es benigno.

Jim?nez: "El Gobierno ha hecho lo que ten?a que hacer"
Mientras tanto, la ministra de Sanidad y Pol?tica Social, Trinidad Jim?nez, reafirm? que el Gobierno central ha hecho "lo que ten?a que hacer" en su estrategia para combatir el virus de la gripe A, en respuesta a la encuesta hecha p?blica hoy en Madrid por parte de la Fundaci?n Josep Laporte y la Universidad de Pacientes que concluye que los espa?oles se declaran informados sobre la nueva gripe, "pero no se ha explicado todo". "Tratamos en todo momento de ofrecer una informaci?n veraz, transparente y clara en presencia de un virus nuevo", insisti?, y defendi?: "que fuera nueva no nos permit?a saber la dimensi?n y evoluci?n real de la enfermedad, lo que gener? una situaci?n de alerta durante un tiempo". "Hemos hecho lo que ten?amos que hacer y en coordinaci?n con todas las comunidades aut?nomas y un comit? cient?fico, que ha avalado estas decisiones y el consejo de los expertos. Si no lo hubi?ramos hecho nos dir?an que no hemos dado importancia a la enfermedad o no la hemos previsto.

Nuestra obligaci?n era prever todos los escenarios", dijo Jim?nez. Por otra parte, dijo que parte de las vacunas que se administrar?n en Espa?a contra la gripe A ya han llegado a Espa?a, aunque no precis? cu?ntas, ni de qu? laboratorio son.

"We try at all times to provide accurate information, transparent and clear in the presence of a new virus, "he insisted, and argued:" it was new did not allow us to know the actual size and evolution of the disease, which led to an alert status for a while. " "We did what we had to do and in coordination with all the autonomous communities and a scientific committee, which has endorsed these decisions and advice of the experts. If we had not we say that we have not given importance to the disease or not we have planned.

Our obligation was to provide all the scenarios, "said Jimenez. Moreover, said part of the vaccines to be administered in Spain against influenza A have already arrived in Spain, although not say how many, or what lab are.
